Endocrinology is the branch of physiology and medicine concerned with endocrine glands and hormones. One of the keystones of acupuncture and Eastern medicine is to awaken the body’s natural ability to heal itself. The process can restore balance through your body’s meridians, otherwise known as its system of energy pathways. If your meridians are imbalanced, you may develop a wide variety of conditions that can affect your well-being.
Fatigue, infertility, weight gain, depression, digestive issues, auto-immune illness, hair loss, arthritis and feeling cold whatever the temperature, can all reflect an imbalance in your body.
The goal of balancing your endocrine system through opening up your acupuncture meridians brings balance to hormones and overall health to your body and mind.
Jennifer works with her patients in a variety of specialized ways so they can find balance and release within their bodies. These methods include acupuncture and herbal therapy, which can alleviate issues with the endocrine system through the art of Eastern medicine.
The endocrine system is a network of glands creating specific hormones that are then released directly into your blood. These hormones impact the body in a number of different areas, including metabolism, growth and development, emotions, sleep, blood pressure, sexual function, and fertility.
Certain glands in your body called endocrine glands make and release hormones. These glands are the special tissues in your body which create and release substances. The endocrine glands in your body include:
Your body makes and releases over 50 different hormones with the most notable including:
When your endocrine system is not working properly, you are more vulnerable to disease and your ability to fight off infection can also be diminished. Fatigue, anxiety, depression, irregular periods for women and fluctuations in weight can all be signs you have an imbalance in your hormones and the endocrine system. Our goal is to balance hormones through treatment.
Acupuncture stimulates elements of energy that have been stuck within the body, which is a key to reestablishing hormonal balance. Jennifer offers this treatment in order to regulate the endocrine system. Some of the benefits include but are not limited to: regulating energy levels, improving metabolism, restoring your hormonal balance, easing mood, supporting regular sleep and menstrual cycles, as well as boosting libido.
Jennifer’s personalized herbal therapy treatment plans are a natural way to treat hormonal imbalances and digestive issues. She regularly uses herbs as a treatment with and without acupuncture, as herbs have a strong therapeutic effect on the human body. Jennifer uses combinations of specific herbs to support the acupuncture protocols for her patients.
